Safe House (2012)
5/10
Staying loyal to the genre
11 March 2012
Someone wrote that this movie could have been better if there was something new to the spy-like story and known twists.

And I just can't understand this "I'm so clever I know how the story's gona end" attitude towards films. You are not a great critique just because you saw it coming, and you are not clever either. Lots of other people see stuff coming in movies. If you want to prove you are smart, learn and teach mathematics, phisics, chemistry, biology, medicine and other intellectually demanding disciplines, but don't go on IMDb and don't rate a film down just 'cos you saw it comin'.

Don't misunderstand, I like twists and twirls and upside downs, just as anyone else. It's just that sometimes using the usual stuff in story and adding on other fronts can be good, and this film is like that.

What I found exciting in this film is the rookie character's development, and his interaction with the veteran played by Denzel Whasington. At the end, I felt content, it was a good film, I liked it.

And an other message to all smartass moviegoers: a good film is not smart. It's wise to the bone, because it sends a message.
